Biblical Context
Psalm 38:19–20 speaks of enemies who are strong and multiplied against one who follows what is good. It names adversaries who render evil for good, highlighting the inner clash with righteousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Psalm 38:19–20 reveals that the so-called enemies are not distant invaders but lively movements of a mind clinging to fear when I claim what is good. As I dwell in the I AM—awareness that I am—these inner militants seem strong only because I forget my creative power. But I do not abandon the good; I revise the scene until the feeling state of it is real. I imagine that the good is already established in me and through me, and that every counter-thought is simply a signal to reaffirm the end I intend. The adversaries thus dissolve, not by battling them in the old way, but by turning my attention to the state that precedes them: the certainty that I am the good I desire, and that the world bends to that truth. In this moment I am faithful to truth, and the outer appears to reflect it.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the I AM is already victorious in the good you seek. Feel it real.
